WOW, that's a nice set with a Claas harvester?? Playmobil hasn't forgotten how to make good sets (I'm thinking of the not so good, in my opinion, American fire engine.).

Thanks for linking to the set, Tomplay

A nice set, but a very expensive one!  The building on the right looks very interesting - a mix of System-X house and farm buildings.

Thanks for the link, too.

Those are all System X farm building parts I think, and the harvester has been available in the past. I don't see anything new there, and that is a big price. I think that's the same or even more than the THW large set was and it was all exclusive repaints.

I guess that's good value if you're starting a farm theme from scratch, but if you already have some of this stuff, could you justify duplicating it at that price?

I think that's just too big , and it'd sell better broken down into smaller sets.

its around 200 quid! its a lot! but those shops like kaufhof, karstadt are very epensive ayway, because they are highstreet shops!

Thanks for the link. I like the new colored harvester . So we in the US get all the funky WalMart sets and Europe gets new colored big sets. They had the Green Construction set, then the blue Fire/rescue set, The RC diesel train, not to mention all the individual trucks like the flatbed tow-truck, the victorian truck and I am sure there are more .......   That is one crying face for all the unhappy people at our house . My wife would be a happy face  ( less money spent )

Is this the biggest and most expensive set Playmobil has ever offered?  I'm not a farm collector, but I'd like to see this big set start a trend and pave the way for a large Roman forum, Roman villa, Roman fort, and a Celtic village.  Yes, I've posted this wish before, but I've a one track mind! 

[Tomplay]

I think, because of the price this set would be a kind of shopkeeper (I didn't know this english word before  ). Kaufhof also offered the THW-Sets for a lot of money in the beginning and they still offer them much cheaper now.

Those are all System X farm building parts I think,

I'm not sure they're all farm parts, Tim.  Some look like they're from the System-X family house and others from the airport series.  A bit of creative re-assembly.
